Gandy Shows His Thanks

Hi, it's Gandy again. This year I want to remember brave animals like my ancestor, Gander, who served in the Second World War.

I am going to make a wreath to honour everyone who protected peace and freedom worldwide. I am going to go to a Remembrance Day ceremony on November 11 where I will place my wreath at the local monument, called a cenotaph. Would you like to make a wreath too?

Dogs were trained to serve in war as messengers. They carried secret notes and encoded documents in their collars. They also served as watch dogs, search-and-rescue dogs, "para-dogs" (trained to parachute behind enemy lines), de-mining dogs (trained to sniff out landmines and bombs) and as man's best friend.
